BRS working president KT Rama Rao said the Congress government is losing public trust in rural Telangana after poor performance in panchayat elections. He warned of bigger defeats in upcoming local body polls and accused the ruling party of unfulfilled promises.
Ahead of the High Court's stay on local body elections, a total of 119 nominations were filed across ZPTC and MPTC constituencies in Telangana. Congress emerged as the frontrunner with the majority of nominations.
The Telangana High Court's stay on local body elections has led the State Election Commission to suspend the poll process, which was set to begin with nominations from October 11. The elections, planned in two phases, were halted due to a legal challenge over 42 percent reservation for Backward Classes.
TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu has alleged that the elections to local bodies in AP had become undemocratic and wondered how the ministers could mention the Parishad elections dates before hand
